How I build

ResearchStudy the product, its users and the market before deciding what to build.
RequirementsDefine scope, priorities, risks and acceptance criteria. Signed off before design starts.
DesignDesign every screen and state, then approve the working UI before backend work begins.
Phased buildSmall phases with a clear done state. Coding agents implement, automated checks gate each phase.
Code reviewSeparate frontend and backend reviews for correctness and security. Findings are logged, then fixed.
AcceptanceClean rebuild, end-to-end tests against every acceptance criterion, and a written report.

AI agents accelerate delivery. I own the scope, architecture, security and final sign-off, and every lesson becomes a rule for the next project.
